Grapefruit juice

Grapefruit Juice from Alain Milliat from France

Alain Milliat's grapefruit juice is pleasantly tart, well-rounded and elegant, and it has an intense aroma of juicy, ripe grapefruits.

This fine juice from Moroccan grapefruits is characterized by very juicy flesh and a bittersweet taste.

This orange-pink citrus fruit juice will delight you with its silky texture, its good balance between sweetness and acidity, and a good length. Alain Milliat's grapefruit juice, with a 100% fruit content, is wonderfully refreshing, a good companion for a lavish breakfast, and even suitable for mixing with Prosecco or white rum.

Grapefruit Juice – Juice or Nectar?

Nectar, what a promising word, which in botany refers to the liquid that comes from the flower chalices, and in Greek mythology, the drink of the gods that bestows eternal youth and immortality. The European fruit juice regulation is less euphoric. It distinguishes between juice and nectar, and for nectar, it allows up to 20% of the final product to consist of sugar, and the fruit content, which can consist of fruit juice or fruit pulp, must be at least 25% depending on the fruit variety, thus valuing juice as higher quality than nectar.

But what does Alain Milliat care about the fruit juice regulation? More good ingredients than the minimum requirement prescribes are certainly not forbidden. Thus, his nectars consist of 40-50% fruit content.

We recommend enjoying Alain Milliat apple juice from a thin-walled white wine glass, so that the aromas can unfold particularly well at a cool drinking temperature of 8-12 degrees.

Alain Milliat – the Passionate One

Alain Milliat, grandson and son of a farmer, and a fruit grower himself, took over the family business in Orliénas near Lyon in 1983. For 15 years, he respectfully tended the land entrusted to him and grew the best fruit, especially a particularly sought-after cherry variety. In 1997, Maison Alain Milliat started the project of producing high-quality juices for gourmets. Alain sent the first six juices and nectars to 60 restaurants from the Relais & Châteaux guide and eagerly awaited the reaction of the sommeliers to his creations. And it was enthusiastic. This great idea allows him to adapt the textures, sugar-acid balances, and colors of his juices to the needs of the restaurants. Driven by his success with gourmet restaurants, with which he still works today, the passionate producer constantly develops new juices and nectars from special, hand-picked fruits that offer unique taste experiences. Today, Alain Milliat buys his fruits throughout France and beyond, always at their optimal ripeness.
